The WLCI has established a long-term science-based program to assess and enhance the quality and quantity of aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale in Southwest Wyoming, while facilitating responsible development. Design Landscape Scale (Work across borders on public and private lands) Science Based Partner Support & Collaboration via LPDT & Central Data Information Sharing Leverage Resources Adaptive Management

Aspen Mountain Shrub Sagebrush Riparian Aquatic

Fragmented Habitat Migration Corridors Emphasis on WLCI identified communities Consequences of developmen t Invasive Species Loss of historic vegetation Loss of critical forage Changes/disturbances in cycles Water Quality & Quantity Livestock and wildlife access Effect of changes on the landscape Indigenous species concerns Water health for fisheries

Integrated Research and Technical Assistance Integrated Research and Technical Assistance Why, Where, What, How… Is it working? Addressing management needs Advancing scientific understanding Developing transferable methods

 Comprehensive Assessment  Gather existing data  Target data gaps  Use data to inform conservation  Science Strategy Plan  5 year Conservation Plan  Implement various science work  Science-Management Integration  Plan for applying science  Includes monitoring  Best Management Practices

Other Efforts WLCI also participated with the Wyoming Basin Native Plant Development Program. This program’s intent is to provide a source of native seeds and plant materials for restoration and reclamation projects. Scientific and technical support for WLCI includes evaluating the effectiveness of habitat treatments, assessing cumulative effects of development on important habitats and species, integrating science findings with on-the-ground actions, and promoting and integrating new methodologies and protocols. Science Integration

Fragmented Habitats 1,364 acres of conifer removal through mechanical treatments and prescribed burns 27 miles of fence converted to wildlife friendly standards Completion of a wildlife underpass 270 acres of shrub and grassland treatments 25,219 acres of habitat protected through conservation easements and exclosures 13 aquatic fish barriers removed 57 miles of native fish habitat protected
